jackie robinson – two for one

two cracking slabs of dancefloor funk. both available separately on rare and expensive 12″s. or you can get one handy 7″ containing both for around a fiver.

rev it up

awesome solo shiz from 1/4 of talking heads. you need the 12″ for the ace instrumental in a more electronic form and the 7″ for this super-kicking vocal version. fortunately both are rather slept on and neither will break the bank.
